Winners - Challenge #11 Crazy For Colour

Hi, Branka here with the winners of the 'Crazy For Colour' challenge. Thank you so much for all the fantastic vibrant entries and I am amazed at how many beautiful and colourful projects we received! Oh, it was extremely difficult for me to pick just one winner and a runner-up but after a long going back and forth here is my winner

A stunning abstract piece of art with such rich textures and a fantastic explosion of colours! Awesome layering and a fabulous use of art stones and cotton pieces! This glorious project has stolen my heart!

Congratulations Kris! Pamellia will be in touch by email to send you a personalized winner's badge and to provide details about being our Feature Artist for the next challenge.

I couldn't help choosing this as my favourite as well. The colours are bold and bright but the texture is over-the-top fabulous. When I saw this my first thought was a coral bed in some sea somewhere exotic and I immediately wanted to go there and look at it from a glass bottomed boat - no scuba diving for me.

Rina's design has all the lovely colors of the rainbow and each color is so vibrant and fun. I adore this design and the splitz and splatters she created on her background. The bonus are the gorgeous colors of the flowers and the little butterflies fluttering around. Amazing and gorgeous design! Carpe Diem!

Look at all these wonderful colors, not only on the birds but on those wonderful backgrounds! And what made this project extra special is the love that went into it, as Marty prepared this for her daughter. I always love it when something is made especially for a loved one!

Here I go breaking the rules again, but I truly could not pick between Marty's and another's colorful projects so my favorite is both of them!

I mean! Look at those amazing colors! Wow, Amanda! You took that hippie era look right out of my head and executed it beautifully! I love the bold colors with the black silhouettes shaded with white. Rock on, Amanda!

***Honourable Mentions!

This was probably the hardest month yet for us to choose our honourable mentions! There were just so many projects we loved! You really made it hard for us to narrow it down! Inspirational work from all of you!
